@sikokiller12 i guess you havnt read the book, it continous and you cant expect the whole war to end in one book/ movie your 4getting that *spoiler alert * the bridge blowing up was a HUGE thing for them and after that they had to lie low for ages.
@genxdarkangel I know alot of Chinese people - not Australian born ones either - and they all laughed when I asked them how they felt about them being the invaders in the movie. They enjoyed the movie, the found it funny that they were the invaders. They seem to think it's a possibility, so why shouldn't we?
@genxdarkangel It does not encourage xenophoia. It is actually a very true reality and the Australian military has been preparing for the possibility of such invasion by neighbouring Indonesian countries for years. Just because I believe in the minute possibility that this could happen, does not make me racist nor does it make me xenophobic, it simply means that I am not ignorant. A movie is not going to damage any relations, just as the very popular book series didn't a decade ago.
@LizaNshae I've been an Aussie all my life, but people say I sound English... :-( I think it actually depends a lot on how your parents talk, you pick most things up from them. Meh. I reckon she did great anyway. :-)
This is one movie i will not watch, and i also encourage other Australians to boycott this film. Although John Marsden is an Australian and, the text is Australian, the story itself is UNAUSTRALIAN because it defines the invaders as those of an asian origin, which has the potential to make people become xenophobic towards ethic groups that are from that origin. It further damages the relations with our neighbours which we rely on for sustainable economic growth and security in the region.
@genxdarkangel dear god encase you were born under a rock its not the first time Asians tried to invade Australia which makes it a feasible story line. Further more see the attached link which only further compliments the story line and what if their is a xenophobic attitude towards Asians if you care to remember it was only 70 years ago that New Zealand and Australian soldiers were brutally tortured by the Japanese and now you protect them as if they were allies.
@genxdarkangel It doesn't really define who they are. Some close ups show some of them to be asian. But it doesn't mean they're Chinese, Indonesian, or Tibetan or anything inparticular. It's not specified. They even used a made up language!
If someone comes away from this film with a prejudice against Asian people... i'm sure the Darwin award will sort them out...
Anyway, this film isn't about who the invadors are, its about the kids and their story.
@genxdarkangel No you Idiot, this book was written in the 80-90s, the time period that Aussie was afraid of their overgrowing flourishing economy would attract foreign Government speculation into using Military force for gain. That's the whole point of the book but anyway its fiction so does it matter what it contains.
@genxdarkangel It was obviously based on a communist force retard! Why were we afraid of the communist in Vietnam? Bceause it could of spread through to Australia, which is where Marsden got the idea from! Yes, i am awar that this was posted a year ago, but i had to reply to a stupid comment like that, people still don't even know "who" it's based on, so are we suppose to be afraid of "every" asian, ot to mention one of the actors playing the role as "lee" is asian and they trust him, dumbass.
